New Years Eve FOTN

Happy new year! I hope that 2010 is going to be a great year for all of you :)

I feel like I haven't done a FOTD post for a long time so I thought it would be nice to show you how I did my makeup on New Years Eve.

Face: MAC Studio Sculpt foundation (shade NC45), MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (shade Medium Deep)
Cheeks: Body Shop Blush Trio in Warm Sunset
Lips: GOSH Soft'n Shine Lipbalm in Irony
Brows: MAC Brow Shader (discontinued)

Close-up of the eyes:


Eyeshadows: MAC Electra all over the lid and inner corners, MAC Freshwater on outer half and bottom lashline, MAC Smut in crease, dark brown/black from the Coastal Scents 88 palette in outer corner and MAC Shroom as brow highlight.
Liner: L'Oreal Superliner in Carbon Black on upper lashline and Rimmel Kohl eye pencil in Black on waterline.
Lashes: Eyeko mascara and Ardell Fashion Lashes Demi Wispies (which I love but my pair got messed up in my bag after I took them off in the middle of the night - lesson learnt: always put your lashes back in their case if you ever want to use them again!)

I hope you have all been enjoying the festive season and make sure to post your NYE makeup looks too, I love seeing them!

EOTN 16.10.09

I went out last night wearing this:


Dress: Dorothy Perkins, £18 (recent purchase)
Shoes: Steve Madden (check out Amazon.co.uk for Steve Madden, these were a bargain!)

So I decided to go for a grey smoky eye, had to apply it really quickly after a last minute decision to go out! I always find the random, last minute nights out are the best though! Anyways, on to the pics...




Again I used my trusty 88 eyeshadow palette and L'Oreal Superliner. I also recently bought Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara, which I have on too.

By the way does anyone else find that their eyelashes on only one eye always droops down during the day?! I think I need to start curling only by left eyelashes lol

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

OOTD 11/10/09

I went to a Christening today and here's what I wore:
I still haven't perfected my method of taking these pics lol
Dress: ASOS (recent purchase on sale)
Belt: H&M
Shoes: Zara

I was running late and didn't have time to apply eyeshadow so I went for a very simple eye look. Its nothing great but thought I'd post pics anyways.

Eyes: MAC Paint Pot in Indianwood, L'Oreal Superliner Carbon Gloss, Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara

My camera really washes out the colours of any eyeshadows that I use so let me know if you can recommend a camera that is good for photographing makeup!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

NOTD and First OOTD!

So first here is my NOTD which I actually applied on Monday. I'm sure you have probably seen a lot of this very popular nail polish - its OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark.


I love this colour in winter and when my nails are shorter. Its a great plummy, almost black, purple. This was the first dark polish that I bought that was actually dark on the nails without the need for loads of coats!

So I have been wanting a blazer for a while now, but being a student again I cant really afford to spend upwards of £50 on one. Yesterday I bought one from New Look that was £30, on offer now for £20 and with my student discount I got it for £18!! Yay for student discounts!! :) I wore it today with jeans and a plain white tee...

Blazer - New Look
Jeans - H&M

T-shirt - Primark
Necklace - Topshop
Shoes - H&M

Close ups:
I hope you enjoyed this post!
